Getting Started - Wiki.png

Welcome to Stardew Valley! This guide should help familiarize you with the game's mechanics and interface, and aid you as you adjust to life on the farm.

Character Creation

Character creation menu.png

At the Character Creation screen you can choose your name, gender, the name of your farm, your preferred pet and your appearance. Later on, if you're unhappy with your basic appearance (skin tone, shirt, pants, cannot change gender), or just want a new shirt, try giving gifts to the Wizard. He has a secret room below his tower that can transform your look for 500g.

  • There are 24 skin tones, 32 hair styles, 112 shirts and 20 accessories to choose from.
  • The sliders next to Eye Color, Hair Color and Pants Color represent hue, saturation and lightness.
  • The pet you choose here determines which pet you have on your farm.
  • The gender you choose does not affect which villagers you can marry.
  • Your Favorite Thing is sometimes referenced in-game. Example - Using the word "Butts" can lead to funny conversations with townsfolk, but you might want something less comical like "Discovery" or "Pizza".
